Similar to winter hobbies, summer hobbies are plentiful and easy to find in Idaho. However, they can still be very expensive. After you receive your reverse mortgage payout, though, it makes these activities much more feasible. If you’re looking for a new hobby or just something to do this summer, the Idaho Reverse Mortgage team put together a list of some of the most popular summer activities in Idaho. Check it out and see if there’s anything that might interest you!
Tennis
Tennis can be enjoyed by people of all ages and can be extremely fun. The startup costs are very minimal, as all you need to get started is a tennis racket, a pair of tennis shoes, and a tennis ball! It takes a lot of time to learn and get good at tennis, so it’s the perfect opportunity to entertain yourself for a whole summer. Tennis is a game that is played with 2-4 players, so it’s also a great chance to bond with your friends or make new friends.
Hiking
We’re lucky to live in an area with an abundance of trail systems. There are trails that vary in difficulty, so even if you can’t climb the steep trails at Bogus there will always be something for you. It’s also relatively inexpensive – all you may need is a pair of hiking boots, but even that is optional. Also like tennis, it’s a great way to spend time with friends and family as you don’t want to go alone in case of injuries.
Mountain Biking
Unless you already have a bike capable of going on trails, mountain biking can put a significant dent in your wallet. The cost aside, it can easily be one of the most fun activities on this list and is great for your health. Climbing up the trails can be extremely difficult and is great for cardio, but going back downhill is one of the most exhilarating feelings in the world. You can utilize the same great trail systems that you would use for hiking, so it’s fairly accessible.
Woodworking
Working with wood can be one of the most gratifying feelings and can provide great benefits because of the items you’ll build. Summer is a great time to set up the sawhorses in the backyard and get to building. Tools for woodworking can be expensive but will last you a lifetime. You can build headboards, tables, benches, and the list goes on and on.
